inches or so above the surface of the lake, was
what looked like the top of the arch of sub.
merged cave on railway tunnel. Evidently,
from the water mark on the rock several feet
above it, it was generally entirely submerged.
but there had been a dry season, and the cold
had prevented the snow from melting ms
freely as usual, so the lake was low and the
arch showed. Toward this arch our poor
servant was being sucked with frightful
rapidity. He was not more than twenty

canoe flew along after him. He struggled
hravely, and | thought that we should have
saved him, when suddenly perceived an ex.
preston Of despair come upon his face, and
there before cur eyes he was sucked down into
the cruel, swirling, blue depths, and vanished;
at the same moment felt our canoe seized as
with mighty hand and propelled with resist
less force toward the rock.
We realized our danger now, and rowed, OF
rather padded, furiously in our attempt to
get out of the vortex. In vain; in another

In another minute could not even make out
as much as that, for the faint light had
merged into shadow, and the shadows had
been swallowed up in darkness utter and
complete.
For an hour or so we lay there, not daring
to lift our heads for fear lest the brains should
be dashed out of them, and scarcely able to
speak even, ON account of the noise of the
rushing water which drowned our voices.
Not, indeed, that we had much inclination to
speak, seeing that we were overwhelmed by
the awfulness of our position and the immi-
nent fear Of instant death, either by being
dashed agains. the sides Of the cavern or on a

Suggestions Concerning the Thawing Out
OF Persons Exposed to It,
Many persons have the idea that life
is endangered only, if the patient be
brought too suddenly from the cold
into warm place. They believe that,
if one proceed very carefully and
slowly with the warming, the cold can
never produce lasting injury to the
system. There is certainly no doubt
that sudden warming is very danger
aus, and that a great deal depends
upon the right treatment of the frozen
limb. Experience shows that, while
some people have frozen joints treated
in such manner that they are cons
pletely restored, others are less fortu.
nate, and suffer frequently in after.
years. But one must admit that in
tense cold alone, without being fol-
lowed by sudden warming, which
proves so disastrous, suflices to cause
severe suffering. In this respect,
a great deal depends on the nature of
the person. If very sudden transit
tons from heat to cold and from cold
to heat be avoided, healthy person
can Withstand intense cold with
out serious consequences. espe-
cially il he be mentally
active, energetic and muscular,
and has sound heart-that is, if his
pulse be regular and strong A robust
person can withstand the temper
allure at which alcohol and mercury
freeze. Members of North-Pole ex-
peditions have experienced temper
atures of fifty or more degrees below
zero without suffering harm
However. it happens not unfre-
quently that even moderately cold
weather when the thermometer is but
few degrees below the freezing
point, causes serious ills and some
times even fatal results. This is apt
to happen to persons who are an@-
mic, poorly fed, effeminatc or mental
ly depressed. Old men, children,
an@mic girls, drunkards, and people
with weak heart, are all liable to be
frost-bitten, and easily freeze to death
if they succumb to sleep while OK
posed to intense cold. They fall into
sort of stupor. sit down to rest, soon
fall asleep, and in most instances
never awake. For long time they
remain in a condition bordering on
death; they breathe a little, and the
heart makes feeble attempts to main
